The weekend is coming from inside the house.
Your Perks: 1) A tiny yet powerful portable speaker that’s perfect for a rooftop, a pool or a rooftop pool. 2) 60% off Britain’s best waxed-canvas bags. 3) A stylish smartwatch that syncs with your phone so you never miss another call or text again. Oh, it also tells time.
Caffè Nero. It’s an Italian-style coffee chain. And now it’s in America for the first time ever. Which is good, because you needed a new spot to sip espresso by a fireplace and contemplate a mantelpiece from 19th-century France. You have very specific needs.
Don’t be alarmed if you see people inside a shipping container in Harvard Square. They aren’t cargo ship stowaways. They’re just making you liquid nitrogen ice cream. Because this is Churn2, and it’s finally back for its second season. Though that still doesn’t explain why it’s a shipping container.
Some of Louis Boston’s friends are in town for the weekend. Kiton. Brioni. Belvest. Those guys. And they’ll be measuring you for suits that are cut and sewn entirely by hand. Oh, and Harry’s of London is there to make you shoes on-site. Little Friday afternoon cobbling never killed anyone.
Q: Hey, Revere, we hear your rooftop opens for the season on Saturday. What’s new?
A: Oh, you know. Champagne sangria Jell-O shots. Hanging egg chairs. A new season pass for
using my pool all summer.
Q: Is that fantastic?
A: Yes.
Oh, hey, look. It’s another thing reopening for summer. Super. This time it’s Moksa’s patio, and there’s an Asian barbecue party with an outdoor dumpling station, chicken yakitori on the grill, gin snow cones and all-you-can-eat sushi for $15. Because at that point, why not.
